I think son is incognito.

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to post a good report for you all. I know how badly we like to hear good news. First I wanted to let you all know the 6 baby teeth he had pulled had no effect on his tics. Nor did the gas they gave him. School so far has been good, he has done well adjusting to a new school. I will have to see how things go for Spanish, because he is taking that class with upper classmates and he is a little scared of them.

 

Also the school did a great job hand picking his teachers he likes them all.

 

We are still on a strict diet, that is easy for him because of his high peanut allergy. Carrying around an Epi-pin keeps him on the obedient side He had a friend spend the night a few weeks ago and the two of them stayed up all night. Lack of sleep did not seem to bother him either.

 

He will be 14 in 6 weeks just so you all have an idea of his age, and possible good news about tics lessening with age.

 

The goldenrod seems not to be a problem this fall, maybe the cow we get the raw milk from, has been munching on some gloldenrod for dessert.

 

As always your in my prayers,

C.P.

Glad to hear he is doing so well. A few questions- is he on any supplements? Does he still have a few minor tics or tic free? What are the diet basics? I know I have read Salmon you were doing and high protein? Is that still the basics and besides peanut butter does he avoid certain foods? How about carbs-are they limited? Thanks for info.

Hi bmom,

 

Yes he takes a mutli, 100mg B6, 500mcg B12, Mag (natural calm) 400mg, cal 700mg, vit. E 400mg, selenium 100mcg, zinc 50mg. He will have the SpectraCell lab done again in Oct. to see if we are still on the right track with the vit.

 

His diet is a lot of meat, I slow cook a whole chix every week, then use that broth for soup. Do the same with a beef roast, and use leftovers for BBQ beef sandwiches. Husband grills ribs, steak and one extra for fajitas the next day. Husband also cooks up chix wings with a sauce of butter and tabasco. Son eat leftovers of that at lunch. He has to chase his friends away from his lunch at school. I made homemade spaghetti sauce with tomatoes from my garden. My husband thinks I have been body snatched, the food tastes too good.

 

I bake all his treats, cookies, muffins, cakes, and right now I made a lemon meringue pie, from a recipe I found that did not have corn starch in it.

 

He eats loads of fruit and veggies too.

 

I do not watch his carbs.

 

He does not eat soy, corn, and rice.

 

God Bless,

C.P.

 

P.S. I think the year of wholesome foods has helped his school work too.

First week of Spanish he has down numbers 1-100, months, days of the week, and some other words I forgot. He only has that class every other day, so he has only been there 3 times.

I know I'm 1/2 Mexican but I do not speak Spanish (had a hard enough time with English)
